Pablo Torre, the reporter who broke the news about the Xiaoka incident, once again talked about the Clippers in a talk show today.

The reporter said: "The story of the Clippers is about the richest owner in the sports world. This giant in the top ten wealth list in the world, according to my investigation, is persistently pursuing the only goal that cannot be purchased directly with money. In today's era, the unique thing about sports leagues is that even if you have 150 billion US dollars, you are still subject to the NBA's salary cap Rule - This rule limits the upper limit of the investment of the rich in the most precious basketball assets (superstars).

"The investigation ultimately revealed that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was deceived by his trusted partners and jointly committed a fraud against the NBA in order to pay huge rewards to Leonard, the most mysterious athlete in the world.

"This all revolves around a company called Aspiration. Its co-founder Joe Sandberg has pleaded guilty in court this month to two charges of wire fraud and is officially recorded as a fraudster. Ballmer invested $50 million in the company, and the company created a "shadow position" for Leonard, ensuring that he received 4,800 through a secret agreement With a reward of US$10,000, this never-public deal was ostensibly packaged as an endorsement contract.

"As an investigative reporter, the most intriguing aspect of this case is that usually 'lack of evidence' is a difficulty in investigation, but this time I not only obtained more than 3,000 pages of documents and confirmations from seven sources, but more importantly, since this is an endorsement contract, the core question immediately emerged, 'Has he publicly fulfilled his endorsement obligations? ’, the answer is no.
